GMS is a Musician, Educator, MC, Producer and DJ out of Brooklyn, NY, co-founder of HYDRA, The PLAGUE and MCMI, and founder of STAIRS ACADEMY Educational Nonprofit and the brand Cybersky.

GMS has been doing music most of his life. Born in Brooklyn, NY in the 70’s, he often says “Me and Hip Hop grew up together.” Coming from a family of musicians, he has played piano, flute and other instruments since a young child.

In the 1990’s GMS became one-third of the group HYDRA and a co-founder of the crew The PLAGUE, where he first started earning respect on the NYC independent music scene, hosting, DJing and rhyming at open mics, as well as making his presence felt in cyphers and Freestyle rap battles. He and his cohorts soon graduated to paid performances, hosting events and judging contests.

GMS, as part of HYDRA and The PLAGUE was an early participants in the legendary Lyricist Lounge, Braggin’ Rites, and monthly events such as ALL THAT and WORDS at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. He has been seen in the documentary FREESTYLE: The Art of Rhyme, featured on MTV, VH1 and BET, as well as the Grammy award winning Dutch TV show KIKA NEW YORK, DIGGING FOR WELDON IRVINE (documentary), THE MARTIALIST and several other documentaries about Hip Hop and Martial Arts (one of his other life-long passions).

In 2010, HYDRA’s LR Blitzkrieg, KeithWildChild and GMS formed the brand MCMI, as a vehicle to produce events, sell apparel and release music. Life-long friend and music collaborator Robert PH (Pumpkinhead) Diaz joined MCMI Records, releasing music through the label and introducing new artists like Chordz Cordero to the world, as A&R.

In 2015, G got the heart-wrenching call from PH’s wife, that he had passed away unexpectedly, due to health complications at a hospital in New Jersey. He has tried to deal with the devastating loss by helping to carry on PH’s legacy, through fundraisers, promoting his music and merch and lending support PH’s three children as much as he can.

Besides producing music and events. GMS also writes, composes, teaches music and is an NYC Public School Music and Technology teacher, currently working in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. Several of his students have gone on to have successful music careers of their own, rapping, producing and DJing, starring in Broadway musicals, performing Opera, and touring with major artists such as Lauryn Hill.

In 2016, GMS formed an educational nonprofit called STAIRS ACADEMY, which provided Education, Marketing, Web & App Design and IT Internship programs and creates content for youtube and social media.

In 2023, GMS dropped a self-produced solo project, called ALONG THE WAY 777, on MCMI Records.

“I’ve always thought of myself as part of a group, a team player, working for the betterment of the collective and of Hip Hop culture, but now it’s time for a solo, before I transition to a producer role and media content developer,” says the MC, musician and educator.

His first single TEACHER featuring Bamboo, is about his duality as a career educator and MC, dropped on his birthday, January 25th, 2022, which marked the 25th Anniversary of his teaching career in NYC Public Schools.

His second single, “Freedom (How We Get) feat Chordz Cordero”, released in February 24, 2023, is a Neo Soul record, featuring GMS as producer and instrumentalist, with Chordz Cordero singing about the struggle to find Freedom and personal fulfillment.

The album “Along the Way 777” which contains both songs dropped on July 7, 2023 (7/7/2023). The album was released independently, available as NFT, with mp3 versions available at GMSMCMI.Bandcamp.com and as collector snap back caps and tee shirts embedded with NFC chip. As a technologist, GMS likes to embrace new technology and his music lives on the blockchain as well traditional online outlets.

On January 1, 2024, GMS was promoted to the rank of “Sifu” of 7-Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu, by the legendary Master Sifu Carl Albright and became certified to teach and propigate the style, under the Shao Lin Seven Star Praying Mantis Association.

In September 2025, GMS collaborated with Entrfied The God of Sound to create the event “Crates & Keys” where classic tracks meet live improvisation, bridging DJ’s classic records with live improvised jazz, singing and MCing. Legendary Music and visual artist D. Cross joined the team shortly thereafter, often performing with the duo. The event started as a monthly at Hatch in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, but now tours through different venues every so often. (Follow: @CratesAndKeys for info)
